International Waters, 25NMi from Praetonia

The mighty tugs unhooked their cargo. The behemoth that dwarfed even the massive tugs loomed above, threatening to crush the smaller ships with sheer inertia had they not maneuvered to the sides quickly enough. A massive, 1km long super-barge, the vessel looked from space like a Super Dreadnaught, and was armoured like one too. Five mock-up turrets with 52" face plates. A belt thicker than the mocked-up and immobile 30" steel naval cannons. Behind the turrets, a massive fibre-glass radar mast soared to the skies, coated in reinforced steel.

The vessel continued to move forwards at a speed of approximately 25knts. It wouldn't slow for hours now. A massive click could be heard from the vessel as the rudder snapped into place, starting the ship turning. From the tugs, IPS officials looked on with pride at their creation. The biggest floating target ever built, it was only a shame that soon it would most likely be destroyed by their Sephriothan clients. The small staff along with the crews of the tugs sat back on flimsy deck-chairs to watch the fireworks.

The IPS Deputy Director-General leaned back on his chair and pointed up to the sky.

"The first shot I presume. Such a shame really... all that going to waste..." he said as the two missiles plunged into the fore and aft turrets. The missiles slammed into the turret tops and exploded, smashing straight through the turret roofs that weren't designed to withstand plasma attack and detonated the explosives positioned within to simulate shells. The turrets exploded outwards, showing the sea with small armour chunks and blowing huge plates of armour sideways out into the sea.

the zeus comander jace says ''markus target the rader and switch to the laser and cutt it off'' ''aye sir'' says markus.

The laser beam shot down from space and smashed into the radar dome. Well, smashed wasn't the right word - not for a laser. The beam burnt a sizeable hole in the radar dome, breaking through the protective coating on its surface and frying the electronics below. To the casual observer, there was nothing wrong with it, but if the plastic radar panels had been real they wouldn't be working any more.

coms to pretonionan tugs please move out of the way we are about to unleash a heavy assault on the barge coms end

"Better get out of the way then," the Deputy Director-General muttered to himself, clearly annoyed, "Can we stay within sight of the thing?" He shouted in the general direction of the helmsman.

"Probably, sir. The Sephriothans say they will detonating twenty two-kilotonne devices. We should be ok so long as we're roughly 10km away."

"Good, good. I want to see it go up!" He shouted back.

The tugs moved away, and then slowed down once they believed they were a safe distance away. The deckchairs were taken out once again, and all eyes turned to the barge.

jace couldnot beleive his eyes ''HOW THE HELL IS THAT STILL NOT SUNK he roared at markus i want that thing destroyed right now he ordered fire 20 2 killatone plasma cluster missiles and fire the laser at it'' aye sir markus' hands glind over the controls the 20 miisiles tore down towards the barge. the laser also fired at the same time towards the bridge.
